    GB heading to bars - what can Downie deliver?published at 18:30 British Summer Time 30 July

    Bars is next up for GB - they will be counting on another big performance from Becky Downie, who has qualified for the individual final on this apparatus.

    She said it was going to be a particularly emotional day as the date is the birthday of her brother, who died three years ago shortly before she was due to compete in Olympic trials that she then pulled out of.

    GB's Alice Kinsella has just upped her qualification score on the uneven bars to 13.300.

    That is a great start for Team GB on a notoriously difficult piece of apparatus.

    It’s stick on the sprinklers and jump in front of the water hot.

    The irrigation hoses used to cultivate the grass square in the Jardin des Mousquetaires, and the flower beds around Roland Garros, have been turned on.

    They've also been turned around to allow fans to drench, drink and droll in a bid to keep cool.

    I’m sure there’s been a lot of discussions of how to neutralise Wesley Koolhof. He’s an athletic mover at the net, he times it brilliantly, he’s been out there for a long term and they’ve got to figure out how to neutralise him and just make him a little unsure of where to move after the serve.

    This is a fantastic display of elite gymnastics.

    Georgia Mae-Fenton has scored 13.800 for her vault and Alice Kinsella 13.966

    Ruby Evans is the last to go and she makes a difficult vault look rather easy.

    She matches Kinsella's score of 13.966 and Team GB are going well at the halfway mark.

    Biles didn't do the new skill but she did do a wonderful bars routine.

    This is a really different Biles to in qualifying - a lot of high-fiving her team-mates. She looks relaxed and just really happy at the end of that.

    Well, it is going rather well after all...

    Simone Biles is absolutely fizzing with energy. We were a little worried [heading into this final] because she had a little calf issue in qualifying but no sign of that now. High fives from her team-mates.

    Argentina have beaten Ukraine 2-0 to qualify for the quarter-finals in the men's football group phase, a result that eliminates Ukraine.

    Morocco also advance following a 3-0 win over Iraq and that means they go through as Group B winners with Argentina second.

    By failing to win the group, that means Argentina will probably face hosts France in a tasty last-eight tie.

    Sonia Oxley

    The standings in gymnastics can be really misleading... you can only really compare the teams who are competing on the same apparatus, so in this case GB are paired up with Romania, and USA are in with Italy.

    That's because vault scores tend to be higher than, say, beam, so certain teams won't have competed on the higher-scoring apparatus yet.

    Nadal is moving very much more comfortably than he was yesterday – and the Dutch really don’t know where to go.

    There’s been really good movement from Alcaraz – they didn’t know he would be around the net.

    They can’t get in a trade with them because the Spaniard’s ground-strokes are too heavy. They are having to cover their tram[lines] because they are being assaulted down the line.
